1989 D Lincoln cent

Curious as to what caused this entire coin, front and back to appear as is. Doubling, tripling on all devices, both obverse and reverse. The photos do not do justice for the stunning beauty of this error cent. Any value in it? Any advice/comments are greatly appreciated🙏

Could it be acid treated? I'm asking because I'm just learning how to recognise it.

I used to do a lot of dissolving coins in nitric acid for chemistry class students to get a good object lesson on nitric acid being a metal "eater." I supposed the overall lack of details over the entire surface and loss of areas of copper plating could have been caused by an acid.
